Inside of the :boxthere is an electremagnet 1; supported by a. .frame; 2," fastened ,to one .sideaof the bOXZ'L Thewires 3 '4 of the magnet are connected with? binding-posts 5 6 inside 1 the. box, and: these; in turn are connected with the=:t-rolleywire;iE,- as will bezfurther and 1 more fully described presently. at The numeral 7 designates the armature of vthe magnet; which has a shank 8 projecting from it that carries a yoke 9. The ends 10 10 :of :thewarmature are slottedwt -i'eoeive the guide rods 11 111, that'project inward from the isidesato: which they are fastened by .-serews,a;asushown. The end of the yoke 9 is rbiinr'cated, and the-guide-bars 1 1.1 11 pass athrough the Lbifurcati OIlSyWllllG the eXtremitieskof :thebifurcations embrace the right chandedge oft-a plate:;13 and are connected t-with; the plateby pins .14 14, passed through .elong'atedslots 15 15, formed in-the adjacent pa r-thief theiplate, the plate thus being per- Fig. 7 represents a modification of the ar- -mitted ltov move lengthwise to alimited extent. In this way the armature is held and guided by means of the guide-bars, and the suitable means, and in the construction shown by a spring 16, fastened to one side of the box and engaging a strap 17, connected with clevises 18 18, the pins of which are passed through elongated slots 19 19 in the bottom part of the plate. Formed in the plate are two Y-shaped slots 20 20. and a heart-shaped slot 23. The Y-shaped slots comprise recesses 21 and 22 and a portion 20 uniting the recesses, which is of a substantially rectangular shape, thus forming a square space or opening 24 instead of an angle, as would be the case were the outer sides or edges of the branches extended to the closed end in straight lines. The heart-shaped slot 23 is broader than slots 20 20, and the upper and lower edges are bent abruptly at 26 26, from which point they are continued to the ends of the slot in straight lines perpendicular to the side edges of the plate. Between the straight sides of the slot 23 is a short V- shaped tongue 27.

Behind or beneath the plate 13 is another immovable plate 28, supported in place by having one end fastened to one side of the box by means of screws or other suitable devices. This plate has an elongated slot formed in it, and at opposite points beyond the ends of the opening on a line parallel with the edges of the plate there are pins 30 30, projecting from the face of the plate 28, and which rest in each of the Y-shaped slots 20 20, respectively.

Back of the fixed plate 28 there is a vertical rod or link 31, that extends down through the bottom of the box and through a suitable casing 32 to a box or casing 33 underground, where it is pivoted to one arm of a bell-crank lever 34, fulcrumed to a casting 35, attached to the casing. The other end of the bellcrank lever is connected to the switch A by a rod or link 38. Suitable guides 36 are placed in the casing 32 for the rod. Inside the box near its upper end the rod carries a pin 37,

that projects from it horizontally and is passed through the elongated opening 29 in the plate 28 and is entered into the slot 23.- I 31 is thus made to form a link between the switch A and plate 13.

The plate 13 forms a connection between the armature of the electromagnet and the switch, and the function of this connection is to transmit the motion of the armature when it is attracted by the magnet to the switch first in one direction to move the switch from the position where, say, it leaves the track open to a passing car to the position where it shunts the car to another line or siding, and, upon the next actuation by the magnet, in the opposite direction, thus moving the switch, back to its first position. The two The rod movements of the plate are brought about by successive energizations of the electromagnet with intervals of demagnetization between, 1 during which the plate is automatically returned to one of two normal positions.

The slots 20 20 and the pins 30 30, projecting into them from the fixed plate, are intended to give a longitudinal movement to tion of the electromagnet and armature in one direction and by the spring or equivalent means in the opposite direction, the slots moving against the pins and the pull of the armature combining to produce an oblique or diagonal motion of the plate, and these slots and pins are hereinafter referred to as the guiding means for the plate. These guidand-slot connection between rod 31 and plate 13, serve upon the successive movements of the plate to move rod 31 first in one direction and then in the other direction, as will be more fully explained presently.

The electric connections of the switchmoving mechanism with the main or trolley wire and the means by which they arecaused to act will now be described.

At a point a greater or less distance from where a switch is located a bridge-wire 40 is laid over or alongside of the main or trolley wire E, and its ends are connected with breakers 41 42, that insulate the part E of the main wire between them, so that the current leaves the main wire and flowing through the bridge-wire returns to the main wire on the opposite side of the second breaker. Between the breakers and adjacent to the second one a wire 43 is connected with the upper side of the main wire, while the other end is attached to one of the binding-posts in the box. Another wire 44 has one end attached to the upper side of the main wire beyond the second breaker and the other end connected with the other binding-posts in the box. Hence the part of the main wire between the breakers being perfectly insulated the current cannot pass to the electromagnet until this part is brought into a circuit. Thisoccurs when the traveling contact (indicated by the numeral 45) passes the breaker 41 and. reaches the insulated part of the wire-beyond the breaker, J whereupon a circuit is-made from the main wire beyond the breaker 42 through the wire I 44 to the magnet, then through wire 43 to the part of the main wire between the breakers, and thence through the traveling. contact to the motor and rail, as indicated by the arrows.

The operation of throwing the switch will now be described, and for this purpose the movements, of the plate 13 will be discussed in detail, referencebeing had to Figs. 2, 8, 9, 10, and 11. It should first be observed that the plate 13 is loosely supportedthat is, it

the link-plate 13 when it is moved by the ace ing means, combined with the peculiar pin- IIO is mounted so as to have a limited freedom of movement in any direction and no point of said plate is fixed, as would be the case, for instance, were the plate designed to rotate. When theplate moves, accordingly, all of its points move in the same direction and through the same distance, the plate having, in other words, amotion of translation and no rotation. The means for translating the plate or giving to it the movement referred to comprises, with the prime mover, which has a double engagement with the plate, the slots in the plate heretofore re ferred to, the pins which work in the slots to guide and shift the plate, and the pin 37.

Starting with the plate in the position which it is seen to occupy in Fig. 2 and in the diagram of Fig. 8 the plate is drawn to the right, Fig. 2, by the actuating member 9, under the influence of armature 7, which is controlled by the magnet 1. Since the rod or link 31 can have no lateral movement, but only a vertical movement, and since the pins 30, traveling in recesses 22 prevent the plate from moving freely up or down, the pin 37 will travel upon the lower limb t of slot 23 and the rod 31 will be raised and the switchtongue shifted to the right. (See Fig. 3.) Accordingly it will be seen that the lower limb t of slot 23 serves as a track upon which the pin 37 may travel to shift the rod 31, and consequently the switch.

When the plate has reached the limit of its movement to the right, the parts are in the position indicated in the diagram of Fig. 9. It will be observed that during the motion of the plate to the right just described said plate was moved upward slightly by the travel of pins 30 in the inclined recesses 22. The plate now being released by the magnet 1 the spring 16 pulls it toward the left, and on account of the recesses 22, in which the pins 30 work, it will be swerved downwardly justenough to cause the end of projection 27 to strikebeneath the pin 37. The latter being prevented from moving upward, and therefore being relatively fixed on account of the position of the switch against the rail, the plate upon its further return movement will be shifted by the engagement of pin 37 by the limb t of slot 23. Fig.10illustrates in dotted lines the position of the parts just as the point of projection 27 strikes below the pin 37, while the full lines show the position of the parts when the platefinally comes to rest and as these parts are just previous to the next actuation of the plate by the prime mover or actuating member 9. When this next actuation of the plate occurs, Fig. 11, the pin 37 will travel upon the upper limb t of the slot 23, the pins 30 in the recesses 21., and the rod 31 will be moved down. Whenthe plate is released by the magnet and is drawn back by spring 16, the point of the projection 27 will be carried above the 5 pin 37 (which in the position now under consideration is at the limit of the downward movement) and the pin 37 will engage the limb t of slot 23 and will cause upon the further return movement of the plate the shifting of said plate upwardly until the plate finally comes to rest again in the position shown in Figs. 2 and 8. It will accordingly be seen that the limbs and t of slot 23 form a cam-track having two oppositely inclined portions upon which the pin 37 may travel to cause the shifting of the rod or link 31, and consequently the alternating back ward and forward movement of the switch, and also that the limbs 25 andt of said slot form a second track which has two oppositely-inclined portions and which the pin 37 in a relatively fixed condition engages to j cause a shifting of the plate. Furthermore, i it will be seen that the slots 20, with the two recesses 22 and 21 and the pins 30, serve to 5 guide the plate after each actuation of the prime mover to bring the plate-shifting or cam track and the pin 37 into the proper relation. Accordingly, for the sake of clearness, the slots 20, with the recesses 22 and 21 and the pins 30, will be referred to as guiding means for the plate, while the track If and t", cooperating with the pin 37, will be referred to as the plate-shifting means.

It will be obvious that one of the slots 20, having the two recesses 22 and 21, would be sufficient to perform the functions assigned to both of these slots; but it is preferable to employ two, one at each end of the plate, inasmuch as the plate is more evenly balanced and less liable to get out of order. It will also be obvious that the slot 23, as well as the slots 20; may be variously arranged upon the plate without affecting in any way the proper performance of the functions of the plate. Furthermore, it will be understood that the slots in the plate may be replaced by tracks formed upon the plate in case it should be so desired. Many other changes may also be made in the specific construction of the plate without departing from the invention.

A modification of the invention is represented by Fig. 7. In this the armature 7 is connected with a lever 46, fulcrumed to the side of the box at 47. The lever is connected with the vertical bar 48, which is held in guides 49 49 and slides freely up and down when the armature is attracted to and released by the magnet. The lower end of the bar 48 carries the yoke 9, which connects with the plate 13, which in this construction is located in the case 33 in line with the horizontal bar 38, that extends transversely through a box or casing underground to the switch plate B and connects with the switch A from underneath, as shown. The fixed plate 28, that carries the pins 30 30, is attached to the side of the casing, and the pins enter the slots 20 20 in the same manner as rectangular with the tongue projecting into heretofore described but the movable pin 37 is on the end of the transverse bar 38, and thus a bell-erank-lever connection is not required, and the action of the slot 23 on the bar 38 is direct. The weight of the bar 48 and the plate 13 is relied upon to return the plate to its normal position, and thus the spring 1.6 is dispensed with.

By connecting the armature with a lever the necessary motion of the plate 13 for shifting theswitch is obtained with a very small motion of the armature. As the distance the magnet will attract the armature is limited it may not be possible to move the plate 1.3 the required distance when connected directly with the armature, and to give it a greater movement the armature may be connected with a lever and the lever connected with the plate 13, whereby the lengthof the movement of the end of the lever that connects with the plate will determine the movement of the plate. This construction may be applied to the armature and plate shown in Figs. 1 and 2 as well as the arrangement shown by Fig. 7. In this modification as the" plate 13 is parallel to the rod 38 the box G will be hung on the post, so as to face up or down the track instead of facing the track, as in the construction previously described.

If the switch is in the right position for the car-that is, if it is in the position shown in Fig. 3, so that thecar will leave the line it is on and enter another line and no shifting of the switch is desiredwhen the car arrives at the first breaker the current is shut off and the car allowed to pass the two breakers and enter the other line by its own momentum.

The breaker and bridge-wire are located some distance say seventy-five feet, more or lessfrom the switch in the direction the car approaches the switch, as indicated by Fig. 4, so that the shifting of the switch can be effected before the car. arrives at the switch, and, furthermore, when the switch is not to be changed the shutting off of the power can be done at a distance from the switch and the car pass the switch with the power on.

The invention is not limited to an electric circuit taken from the main wire for operating the switch, as it may be taken from the rail or from any outside source, if desired.

The slots that engage the pins and move the plate when the armature is attracted by the magnet may be differently shaped to perform their functions. Those that engage the iiXed pins 30 30 may have their limbs perpendicular to the side edge of the plate, while the slot that engages the movthe same to divide the slot into two parts on one side for the movement of the pin up and down and the slots 20 20 may be formed substantially \l-shaped. In the first-mentioned arrangement of these slots the plate would not be moved obliquely, but in a straight line, and the slot 23 would be shaped so as to produce the up-and-down movement of the pin and the bar to shift the switch. Furthermore, the electromagnet and the plate may be placed underground along side of the switch-plate and connected directly with the switch by means of a rod.
